I am using the Safari browser the view your site. Even on a fast machine, the number of default animated smiley characters that you have on the side are not only annoying, but cause my machine to slow WAY down. Personally, I would rather have some of that space available for a wider text typing area and just a few smileys.

Let me know if this is better for you all

Thanks. That is a bit better.

It still chews up about 80% processor on the Mac, compared to 100% before and only 15% in a P2 450/IE 6 machine.

The rest of the fault lies on Safari for not being able to handle animated GIF's properly. I will let Apple know of this bug.

I will let Apple know of this bug.

What?? An Apple with a bug?? I hear that they are now starting to get worms and viruses too? Come, join the dark side AC. Get a PC and run Netscape like I do (now it is dead because of AOL I may have to switch to Mozilla).
